Chapter 45 Raise your hand and swear



In the blink of an eye it was noon.

The kitchen staff brought in lunch. Song Huan looked at the exquisite dishes on the table, his eyes gradually shining...

In the past, the kitchen in Ning County was also managed by Master Li, so Song Huan was worried before. When she arrived in Ning County, she was afraid that she would have to have a big fight with Master Li over the kitchen issues.

However, on the day Song Huan arrived in Ning County, he discovered that Master Li really did not come with him.

This matter is a bit strange. Just like what Master Li said to Butler Pei that day, even if Butler Pei did not let him go, he would still ride a horse to Ning County by himself.

But now, Master Li stayed in Beijing peacefully.

Song Huan was vaguely worried. Given Master Li's stubborn temper, there was probably only one reason why he would give up coming to Ning County... He had more important things to do in Beijing.

According to the plot timeline in the book, it seems that at this time, Pei Yan has already begun to infiltrate his own forces in the capital...

"My Lord, the Lady is waiting for you to dine with her."

Jin Yue's voice was heard outside the door. Song Huan collected his thoughts and pursed his lips.

Let’s put this matter aside for now.

If she told Pei Yan now that he would have a miserable end with his heart pierced by thousands of arrows in the future, he would definitely not believe it.

I can find a suitable opportunity to tell him later.

Although he no longer needs to earn health points from Pei Yan in the future, Song Huan doesn't want to watch this guy go down the road of death without looking back.

Hmm...why does it make me feel a little uncomfortable when I think about this guy dying?

Song Huan sighed, probably blaming her for being too kind.

Pei Yan walked into Song Huan's room. His dark brocade robe made his face look as cold as jade, and he looked even more noble and aloof.

Song Huan looked up at him and was stunned for a moment, "My Lord..."

Pei Yan paused at the sound, raised his chin slightly, and glanced at Song Huan casually: "What's the matter?"

Song Huan: "You're wearing so little, aren't you cold?"

The winter in Ning County is colder and longer than that in the capital. As February is about to begin, Song Huan feels that it seems to be even colder than the twelfth lunar month. And as Butler Pei said, the living standard in Ning County is more than half that of the capital.

Everything else doesn’t matter, except that there is only the cheapest and most common charcoal available here, which is too choking and not environmentally friendly, so Song Huan can only choose not to burn it.

These days, when she stays in the study every day, in addition to covering herself with a cloak, she also relies on shaking her feet every day to increase her body heat.

So Pei Yan wasn't wearing a cotton coat today? She remembered that he was wearing one under his armor yesterday...

"There's no charcoal burning in my room, so it's cold. Would you mind putting on more clothes?"

Pei Yan couldn't help but smile, his eyes slightly curved: "Madam, are you concerned about me?"

Song Huan's eyelids flickered slightly. This guy's smiling face made her feel that he was going to set a trap in the next sentence.

She lowered her head slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "...I'm just worried that you might catch a cold, my Lord."

Pei Yan seemed to enjoy it, his icy face thawed a little more, and he said softly, "I'm not cold, my lady, don't worry."

As he finished speaking, the system sounded a notification, and the favorability level rose to "+92."

Song Huan was a little surprised. How could his favorability score increase so easily? She hadn't done anything, just... a few words of concern?

Song Huan slowly raised his head, picked up his chopsticks, and randomly picked up something from the food on the table and put it into Pei Yan's bowl. "My Lord, you've been busy all morning. Let's have lunch quickly, otherwise the food will get cold soon."

Pei Yan said softly, "Okay."

System: "Dear, the favorability of the capture target "Pei Yan" towards you has changed." "Favourability +95."

Song Huan: “…” Pupils trembled!

Why did it suddenly become so easy to increase favorability?

Both of them enjoyed their lunch very much.

When lunch was almost over, Pei Yan coughed lightly and said, "When I return to the military camp today, I will order someone to set up another camp next to my tent. It will be completed before tomorrow evening. The day after tomorrow morning, you can have Pei Shen escort you to the military camp."

Song Huan's heart skipped a beat. She didn't really want to go to the military camp anymore...

She wanted to go out freely, find and trigger random tasks.

"Actually, seeing that you, Lord Marquis, are safe and sound, my worries are put to rest. As for the military camp, I'd better not go..."

Pei Yan's expression changed, and he put down his chopsticks with a "pa" sound, staring at Song Huan with gloomy eyes.

Song Huan paused, then changed the subject, "I'm just worried that going to the military camp will be bad for your reputation. If you don't mind, then I'll listen to you. If you say I can go, then I'll go."

Pei Yan stood up suddenly, his voice a little colder, "No need."

System: "Dear, the favorability of the capture target "Pei Yan" towards you has changed." "Favourability +66."

Song Huan: "..." He was angry.

She was about to say something to make amends, but suddenly she realized why she was subconsciously trying to please Pei Yan again?

Let her be angry, but favorability isn't that important anyway, so she doesn't want to spoil this guy.

At this time, Pei Chen walked over from the courtyard gate, stopped outside Song Huan's room, and said with a bow, "Master, the time has come. We should set off."

Pei Yan's tone was slightly depressed: "I understand."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Song Huan who was sitting there motionless, pursed his thin lips, snorted coldly, and walked out of the room.

Unexpectedly, just as he walked into the courtyard, he heard the voice of Song Huan, a woman, behind him - "Wait!"

Pei Yan stopped and turned around with a cold face.

Song Huan rushed to the yard and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Pei Yan had not left.

However, as her breath eased, her legs softened and she fell onto Pei Yan...

Holding the soft body in his arms, Pei Yan's previous anger instantly disappeared, and he couldn't help but laughed softly.

He leaned close to Song Huan's ear and whispered, "It seems that my wife wants to add some fun to her life with me."

Pei Yan's voice was already very pleasant, and at this moment his tone had a hint of seduction, which made Song Huan's ears numb.

Fortunately, she has strong self-control and will not be easily tempted by Pei Yan.

But...she could continue with what this guy said.

Song Huan placed her hands on Pei Yan's shoulders for support, and slowly stood up on her own strength. Then she raised her chin, smiled with her eyes curved, and said, "Your Majesty, you are joking. I came out to tell you that as long as you don't mind, I am naturally willing to go to the army to take care of you."

Pei Yan looked into her eyes, his smile fading slightly. "Song Huan, I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do. You don't have to do anything against your will just to please me."

Song Huan hurriedly shook his head, "Not against my will, not against my will at all."

"I really want to take care of you and stay by your side!"

Pei Yan's eyes flickered, and after a pause, he asked, "Is it true?"

Song Huan nodded, "The truth."

As soon as she finished speaking, Pei Yan suddenly lowered his head and leaned over to kiss her.

The kiss was violent and extremely aggressive, not giving Song Huan a chance to breathe.

In the end, Song Huan's mouth was bitten again.

A faint taste of blood invaded his mouth, and Pei Yan left Song Huan's lips and whispered, "If you tell the truth, I will believe you."

Song Huan, whose mouth hurt: "..." I believed your lies!

If she hadn't been waiting for this guy to agree to let her go to the military camp, she would have definitely bitten back now!

"I will give orders. The day after tomorrow morning, Pei Shen will bring people to escort you to the army." After saying that, Pei Yan took his hands off Song Huan's waist and turned to leave.

After he left, Jin Yue hurried over to support Song Huan, "Madam, are you...are you okay?"

Song Huan licked his broken lips and cried, "Something's wrong. I need some medicine."

Jin Yue helped Song Huan sit down in the room, "Madam, please wait a moment. I will go get the medicine box."

Song Huan pouted and said "hmm" in grievance, "Jinyue, you are so nice."

Jin Yue's face turned slightly red and she turned to go to the inner room to get the medicine box.

After she left, Song Huan opened the system. She had completed all the daily tasks except "sleep every day".

Seeing the health points that arrived, Song Huan's resentment for having his mouth bitten finally subsided a little.

Then she opened the "Random Tasks" next to the daily tasks.

Yes, just when Pei Chen came to find Pei Yan, the system unexpectedly triggered the first random task - "Change the death fate of Pei Chen, a subordinate of the capture target Pei Yan."

Just now, after Song Huan received the random task, his first reaction was to run out to stop Pei Yan and regret his previous decision on the spot.

If she wanted to change Pei Chen's fate of death, she had to go to the army without a doubt.

Although my face hurt a little when I regretted it just now, but for the sake of my health, I just had to slap him in the face.

Song Huan opened the mission details—"Mission validity period: fifteen days."

"Task Description: Pei Chen will face several death crises during the validity period. The host needs to pay close attention to Pei Chen's health status within fifteen days.

As long as "Pei Chen" can survive safely for fifteen days with the help of the host, the mission will be completed and the host will receive a certain amount of health points as a reward.

On the other hand, if Pei Chen dies within fifteen days, the mission will be considered a failure, and the host will not receive any health bonuses.

After reading these lines of explanation, Song Huan's expression gradually became serious.

Now Pei Chen is fighting in the army with Pei Yan, and going to the battlefield is inevitable.

If Pei Chen's death crisis happened on the battlefield, she would be out of reach.

Moreover, judging from the meaning of this task description, even if one death crisis is resolved, death crises will continue to occur within fifteen days... I didn't expect that the first random task would be so difficult. Song Huan was confused and had no idea where to start.

At this time, Jinyue came out with a medicine box.

Song Huan looked at the little girl's serious and concerned expression, took a deep breath, and then gathered his strength and began to tap the system in various ways: "System Master..."

System: "Dear, what questions do you have?"

Song Huan: "Are there any hints for random missions? Like a guide on how to complete them..."

System: "Sorry, dear, no."

Song Huan: "Ah! System Master, I was wrong! Please, please reconsider!"

System: "Dear, I'm sorry, I really don't have it."

Song Huan: "Don't be like this, Master System, I was wrong, okay?"

"I swear, no matter what happens in the future, I will never block you!"

"Please, save the poor child!"

System: "...Dear, there really is no strategy right now."

Song Huan looked pitiful: "...Really?"

System: "However, during this random mission, when Pei Chen encounters a death crisis, the system may randomly drop a solution. Please do not block the conversation with this system. The solution will be sent in the chat."

Song Huan: "I swear! I won't block you!"
